Except the 60 million dollars are for two years, as described in the article linked from Torrentfreak.

So it is a 50% increase from 20 to 30 million.

So "only" 150% of the average yearly state expenses instead of 300%. Was there a point you were trying to make or you're just being pedantic?

I think the point he's trying to imply (and you're trying to ignore) is that Sweden effectively paid Cambodia $20 million to arrest this person.

I'm not really following your math, the point is that it's a shit-ton of money for Cambodia, whether we're talking about $60M or $30M per year.

You read my point. You can fill in the dots. Also, see the other comments in this thread that this is _old_ news, which predates Anakata's arrest.
